Were Dollars debasing before the gold window closed in 1971?The Wall Street Journal, by Seth Lipsky, July 22, 2015

''July 23 marks the 50th anniversary of the Coinage Act of
1965, which stripped U.S. coins of silver and made legal tender
out of base metal slugs. It's an anniversary that comes at
an apt time, as Congress considers monetary reform.

This discussion has been quietly taking place in recent months,
in the Senate Banking and House Financial Services
committees. Rep. Kevin Brady (R., Texas), vice chairman of
the Joint Economic Committee, recently reintroduced a proposal
for a Centennial Monetary Commission as the Federal Reserve
starts its second century.

The anniversary of the 1965 Coinage Act is a reminder of why
reform is needed. Speaking from the White House Rose
Garden, President Lyndon B. Johnson called the law he signed a
'very rare and historic occasion.' It certainly was; it
superseded the coinage act drafted by Alexander Hamilton and
passed by Congress in 1792.

The original coinage act established the United States Mint and
declared the dollar as the 'money of account' for the new
republic. It defined the dollar as 371-1/4 grains of
silver or the equivalent in gold; the penalty for debasing coins
struck under the law was death.

When LBJ signed the 1965 act, the value of a dollar was almost
exactly the same as it had been in 1792 -- 0.77 ounces of
silver. Despite some downs and ups, on average it had been
remarkably steady for the long span.

That was because since Hamilton's day, as the president noted,
'our coinage of dimes, and quarters, and half dollars, and
dollars have contained 90% silver.' Not any more: The new
dimes and quarters would 'contain no silver.' Instead they
would be 'composites, with faces of the same alloy used in our
5-cent piece that is bonded to a core of pure copper.' The
new half dollar would have 80% silver on the outside and 19%
silver inside.

In the face of a 'worldwide shortage of silver,' LBJ said, 'the
only really prudent course was to reduce our dependence upon
silver for making our coins.' Then the president made
claims that look, in light of history, laughable.''
